Glare-free high beam
The glare-free high beam (or "vertical cut-off light / dark border", partial high beam, permanent high beam, masked high beam) is a special type of high beam in motor vehicles. It follows the principle of a high beam that is always on . Its function is based on the interaction of a front camera in the vehicle's windshield as well as software for image processing and lighting technology .
functionality
By means of the camera in the windshield, oncoming vehicles and vehicles driving ahead are recognized by their headlights or rear lights. On the basis of this image data, your own headlights are controlled in such a way that road users in danger of being dazzled are automatically hidden from the high beam distribution. A rotating roller with different contours is located between the light source and the lens of the headlight. By turning the roller, the different light distributions on the road are realized.
Use
For the driver, the high beam distribution on the road is constantly maintained, and it is no longer necessary to fade in and out. This causes a considerable increase in the visual range and the significant use of the high beam in night situations. In this way, the light in your own vehicle is fully utilized and the driver can recognize any dangerous situations early on.
In 2010, Volkswagen introduced the first glare-free high beam ("Dynamic Light Assist") in the new VW Touareg II .
Electrically controlled permanent high beam
Electrically controlled LED headlights were introduced at the end of 2013 (Matrix LED for Audi A8 D4 model upgrade). In contrast to the previously used xenon- based high beam, this generation uses fully electrically controlled LEDs. A headlight consists of 36 high-resolution LED modules, 24 of which can be controlled separately, so that the road can be illuminated automatically with improved light distribution and light range, without dazzling oncoming traffic. The headlights are controlled by a camera mounted behind the windshield. Examples: Audi Matrix LED, Mercedes-Benz Multibeam LED from 2014.
Another way of minimizing the glare of other road users is active light .
